The lack of any comment about the actions of the rioters makes me wonder if the view of this whole problem is being considered at all. When professional anarchists are not called out for their looting and throwing of molotov cocktails, you have taken their side.
Standard Operating Procedure for leftardes and communists - ignore whatever is inconvenient to your ignorance...
PS - Isn't the Constitution and its Protections meant for the Citizens of our Country? The illegal invaders who broke our Laws as their first act are definitely NOT Citizens - yet Bonner overlooks this very basic fact. Predictably pathetic...
I know. The vast majority of them, statistically speaking ALL of them, entered the country illegally, thereby invalidating their presence and their rights. If we, the people, cannot dismiss and deport them at our discretion and under existing law, we have no country.
Call me "nobody". Seldom have I read anything so patently absurd and concomitantly offensive, but life is all about new experiences. Best always. PM
Not saying that it was right, it was bad policy. From what I saw, the Biden administration effectively invited these people in and then protected them. Does not seem fair to call them criminals just because the new administration wants to rescind that previous offer after they already settled here under the terms of that old offer.
I stole your car a week ago and the cops just caught up with me today. So I guess it's cool if I keep your car - after all, I've been driving it around for a while, so.....
These people did not steal anything. They are just looking for a better life, just like your ancestors did. Those that are contributing should be allowed to stay, as Bill points out, we actually need them.
Mr Bonner, I’ll agree with you that Trump is wrong here, but for a different reason.
Trump is simply implementing the wrong tactic. Just cordon off all around LA. Allow no one in or out. And then let the leftist anarchists BLM (burn, loot, murder) to their hearts' content.
CA idiots, uh, I mean citizens, voted for their state and cities to be run by leftwingnuts. Enjoy. Leftists destroying leftists. What's not to like? I'm just surprised it isn't on pay per view 🍿🍿
There are more conservatives in California than many states have voters... the problem is low IQ voters or outright voter fraud... east California is almost all conservative... it really bugs me when dolts say stupid things like "the voters deserve it"... I hope you never get out voted by liberal goons... I love California... I loathe the parasites in Sacramento....
The non-conservative vote in California is broken down into three categories: 1) The extremely wealthy elites; 2) The "on the dole" class that is highly dependent on government benefits; and 3) The union vote which encompasses massive numbers of teachers and education employees, along with public safety and government employees at every level. There are probably a significant number of illegal aliens voting as well given they mail out ballots like candy.
Like you, I loved California. I was born, raised and educated there. I built two businesses from nothing and they still operate today. We still own property there and go back to see our twin sons and now a first grand kid regularly. It's heartbreaking to see what the politicians and local governments have done to what was the nicest, best state in the country.
I recount all this because California is a cautionary tale. It only took two decades to go from first to worst. One state Supreme Court ruling that overturned a ballot proposition that won approval by a large number at the ballot box gave illegal aliens access to free education and free medical care via hospital emergency rooms. That was it, game over.
Man, must really suck for you, then. Held hostage by leftist idiots. I don’t get why any conservative - unless they’re in prison - would stay. And please, don’t feed me that, “the weather is so great” rationalization.
I’m in the Free State of Florida. Native, not a transplant. Just hoping we don’t get Californicated.
Oh we left, but are close enough (4 hours by car, 40 minutes by plane) to get back to see family. We also get to see the now exponentially accelerating decline.
The only way to keep your free state free is to defeat Marxist/Leftist/Democrats everywhere, every time. They are only interested in power and control and have time and money in spades to pursue them.
Sluggo/DJ: Sadly, you paint every democrat with the same paint brush. Yet you voted for an ill equipped candidate with a horrible history and think that he's great. Unfortunately, Trump will never make America great again nor will half of his staff either. Talking about defeating the Marxist/Leftist/Democrats...you really should pay more attention to what's happening with Donald's leadership. There might be another Republican that could do the job, but I can't think who that would possibly be.
I stay because I have my whole friggin' life, family and wealth invested in the state. And yes, so much depends upon the weather.
We considered other states, but face it...California weather is the best... there is more to life than politics and money, consistent pleasant weather allows me to enjoy those other things...
Stating Californians are getting what they deserve is an ignorant statement. Did the Jews in Germany deserve Hitler and the Nazis? Did the Russians deserve Stalin and Communism? Did the American people deserve Biden and the insane destructive policies of the Democrats? Just because you're out voted and over ruled doesn't mean you deserve the policies and subsequent tyranny that follows.
...tell that to Sluggo... however as a California constituent I unfortunately understand all too well Sluggo's point...
The liberal propagation to "get out your vote" is an insult to patriots and a subterfuge to honest elections.
This agenda includes allowing plenty of time to harvest ballots of folks that have no interest (and consequently very limited knowledge) of governance, commerce or economics beyond their front door.
In this sense, the parasites in Sacramento do indeed deserve what they get... debt and anarchy.
..the problem lies not with the "illegals" (although they are the cause).
They are propagated and enticed with promised health care and sanctuary by the likes of Bass and Newsom... a "Sanctuary State" and "Sanctuary Cities"...
Liberals and Sacramento parasites tell us "the people of California" want this.
But they won't allow "the people of California" to vote on it...
It's to forgo proving the "without entering legally" part that this passage is criticizing. Are you advocating enforcing the rule of law by breaking the law?
I'm genuinely worried by people blinded by partisan ideology (of both sides, let's be clear) where I'd like to see cold headed rationality prevail. I respectfully engaged him because I felt he was doing just that, and I am not less justified in challenging what I perceive as a mistake as he is in doing it for Bill.
For what it's worth, he gave me an honest answer, and I don't know enough about actual facts on the ground to contradict or agree so I won't. You, however, don't seem to worry too much about fact checking before judging people's intentions and personnality. I suspect you project your own as a reading grid unto others.
Busted. I call them like I see them with my Biases and Beliefs intact - as does everyone else, including you. Not gonna apologize for any of it because we're all strangers here and only have each person's words available to make any kind of judgement or reach any conclusions about a poster's political leaning, Morals/Ethics, Intelligence (or lack thereof), etc.
One thing is sure - I write what I mean and there is seldom any confusion about where I stand. Thankfully, Facts and Reality typically back me up and I often post the receipts with my comments and/or replies.
PS - If you think I contribute things without having checked any given situation out thoroughly from multiple angles, you haven't read many of my posts. What you wrote about that aspect is the exact OPPOSITE of what I thoughtfully throw into the mix here. And, egads, when I am wrong I ALWAYS come back to acknowledge that and try to correct the record by offering further research. You will NEVER see a modern dimocrat admit publicly that they had something wrong or half-true. Never...
SE: That's probably because you maybe read or listen to the wrong people. You already have many biases: hate Dems/ love or tolerate Reps. If you don't like what some people write, you can become very nasty and visceral.
I don't hate dimocrats - I hate what they represent which is complete anti-Americanism. As for getting nasty - you bet. I repay like-for-like and you morons are now at the stage where you are truly dangerous to my Freedom and Liberty.
I put up with y'all's stupidity for years with barely a peep. I decided 5-7 years ago that I wasn't going to remain silent or generally even cordial. You and yours no longer are entitled to basic decency and you've earned that level of treatment.
Some who think like I do may not agree with that sentiment. To them I would just say it is impossible to appease or compromise with a group of generally ignorant losers who don't contribute much, take more than they deserve and will never be satisfied. Treating them as Equals is not the correct path - because they are NOT equal with people who love America, respect the Law and live with Common Decency.
So get over it, I guess. Or not. I really don't care either way...
the national guard & marines were called because the local police were overwhelmed & local authority were not responding to destruction of private & public property
It was a Baltimore man, H.L. Menken, who said (from recollection), "Democracy is a system in which people vote for the government they want, and then government gives it to them good and hard."
Hey, welcome to California... One-party, Left-wing state for two decades and more. Numerous sanctuary cities inside a sanctuary state, where Mexican border is ("was" until 20th Jan 2025) wide open and "new Californians" just walked in to sign up for public bennies and much more. Fiscally, it's held together by the equivalent of duct tape; nosebleed-level income taxes, rich people taxpayers who have not yet bailed (Hollywood, Silicon Valley, etc.), stiff taxes on other nice things (e.g., gasoline), and the occasional, 11-figure federal bailout when Democrats run Washington.
Along comes el Trumpo to rip off the bandaid, and "ouch." The sociological mess is revealed. The political dysfunction and malgovernance is apparent to anyone who watches TV or X/Twitter, as long as you ignore the "nothing to see" narrative. (LA fires last January speak for themselves.)
Just by population numbers and shape of economy, LA is the equivalent of a third world country (and NOT a "developing" one) inside a declining first world city within a failed first world state.
As for the National Guard and US Marines... As I understand it, they're there not for direct, street-level law enforcement, which is left to LA & Cali State police. The military are stationed to protect federal property like federal buildings, courthouses, ICE facilities.
Air Force Gen. Gregory Guillot told The Times on Tuesday that the Marines in Los Angeles were limited in their authority, deployed only to defend federal property and federal personnel. They do not have arrest power, he said.
“They are not law enforcement officers, and they do not have the authority to make arrests,” Guillot said. “There are very unique situations where they could detain someone ... but they could only detain that person long enough to hand it off to a proper law enforcement official.”
Wouldn’t we all wish that simply closing the southern border was enough? It is not. For nearly 4 years prior to Trump’s second inauguration, and with a history much longer than that, roughly 8,000 illegal immigrants a day streamed across our southern border. If you do the math that equates to approximately 12 million illegal border crossers in 4 years under Biden, a record. The American people not only did not want this, it proved to be the highest polling issue of the 21st century. The American people understood the seriousness of what was happening and that it was a national existential issue. America would not long survive as a nation if it continued. Americans, especially middle and lower class citizens and legal immigrants who had to live with the crime and chaos and job losses of this “replacement migration”(a United Nations policy paper term) were getting desperate for a solution. It remained and was Donald Trump’s best policy hope for re-election in 2024. In a Democracy, and especially a Constitutional Republic, it is not the citizens of LA or Baltimore who get to determine national law and national policy. That belongs to the nation as a whole and to their elected national and state representatives. Least magistrate does not abrogate higher law outside of due process.
But the real issue at hand is that all of this was a deliberate crime against the American people. Crimes of any magnitude cry out for justice, and the magnitude of this crime was and remains of a staggering magnitude. We didn’t know who therse 12 million criminal migrants were, still don’t, but what we do know is that for many, for at least hundreds of thousands of them, their greater crime was not that they came across the US border illegally. They were in fact hardened criminals, gang members, terrorists, foreign trained operatives, sex and labor traffickers who accompanied their goods only so far before returning for more. This is not hyperbole. If the media had shed any light on what was occurring our shock and outrage would have known no precedent. And our own government flew their new contraband on government aircraft as well as our national airlines all over the country in order to plant them in American communities, at our expense. Can a finer point be put on what has occurred than this? It wasn’t really hard, isn’t hard, to get the picture.
So justice and responsible government demanded that this not just be stopped, but that it be reversed. Is the result “martial law”? What does it take to reverse a crime if this magnitude? What could the perpetrators of all of this madness, including the madness of illegal immigrants waving foreign flags while burning American property and attacking law enforcement while local government officials defend their actions, what could the perpetrators possibly have to say about the American people, about the sanctity of America as a nation?
So this crime, this crime against humanity American style, must be reversed. Justice and order cannot be otherwise restored.
Inarguable FACTS that will be completely ignored by the BPR "leadership" and the spineless leftardes on this board. Instead, they will denigrate the adults who are using every tool available to try and fix what the morons broke. These people are disgusting and should be completely irrelevant to what happens next...
Martin Armstrong recently did a review of various countries where revolutions took place and he was quite surprised how small a percentage of people it takes to get them going! That doesn’t mean that the unwilling or uninterested are unaffected!
Mr Bonner, I’ll agree, but for a different reason.
Trump is taking the wrong tactic. Just cordon off all around LA. Allow no one in or out. And then let the leftist anarchists BLM (burn, loot, murder) to their hearts' content.
CA voted for their state and cities to be run by leftwingnuts. Enjoy. Leftists destroying leftists. What's not to like? I'm just surprised it isn't on pay per view 🍿🍿
... "we" chose the impulsive attention-seeking child over the incompetent woefully unqualified cackler... the media's binary offerings were terrible...
Are the nicknames undeserved? And "specific data"? How about watching any video of the drunk, giggling toddler from the campaign and 77 million votes for the alternative.
This stuff isn't hard for anyone who can think critically, Ed. You should step up your game and start cheering for Team Domestic Enemy on more sophisticated subjects where there might actually be some valid overlap between the Left/Right positions. You keep beclowning yourself about really, really simple issues and it's not a good look.
SE: Since when are you trying to help?? Only if you are a Republican or a Trump person. You know if you look hard enough, one can always find some information on anyone that may be negative or positive. Please follow Trump's decisions carefully.
...not sure I understand your questionable comment.
I was towing the line behind your "name calling"...
I assumed your stating "impulsive questionable child" was derogatory labeling.
I have devolved beyond specificity in terms of describing the attributes of Kammy, as I have yet to recognize any... she leaves me otherwise speechless.
WD : Bill what they did wrong was come here without permission! As you remind us the USA is broke, no money to help our own citizens! The illegal Imigrants are getting better treatment $ then our own!
The election should have been 80-20. It was only 52-48. We can't even agree it's bad when 20,000,000 individuals are allowed to invade our country, and then we can't do anything about it. As my Mom often says, "It's all over but the shouting." The shouting started for real in LA this time. Best always. PM
“What did the immigrants do wrong? Nobody knows..”
Hogwash. We ALL know; even the Trump-haters know.
Again, they are NOT “immigrants”, Bonner; illegal aliens. Criminal border trespassers. First action they did was break the law when they UNLAWFULLY entered the United States.
THAT’S what they did wrong. But we all know you know this. So either you’re just having fun yanking us all here; or, you really are blinded by hate for Trump.
Further, you tarnish the word “immigrant”, and insult ALL those who came here legally, by referring to border trespassing criminals as “immigrants.” Shame on you, and all who do this.
He’s gone nuts. President Trump has complete control of his mind and driven him insane.It’s an amazing thing to witness in real time! Does he not have a family member to intervene? Sounds very familiar
The lack of any comment about the actions of the rioters makes me wonder if the view of this whole problem is being considered at all. When professional anarchists are not called out for their looting and throwing of molotov cocktails, you have taken their side.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. They have already broken the law by entering the US illegally. No "like" for Bill today...
You "Like" Bill's stuff? You are a very generous and kind soul.
"What did the immigrants do wrong? Nobody knows."
I know. The vast majority of them, statistically speaking ALL of them, entered the country illegally, thereby invalidating their presence and their rights. If we, the people, cannot dismiss and deport them at our discretion and under existing law, we have no country.
Call me "nobody". Seldom have I read anything so patently absurd and concomitantly offensive, but life is all about new experiences. Best always. PM
Mr. Murray, When I read what Bill wrote there, I could only respond: “What???”
Maybe some wacko leftist stole Bill's autopen.
You're too nice. How about WTF?
What are Argentina’s ‘originales’ doing wrong?
Squat in Bonnerville and see how fast the Jefe's tune changes. Typical libtarde - NIMBY...
Not saying that it was right, it was bad policy. From what I saw, the Biden administration effectively invited these people in and then protected them. Does not seem fair to call them criminals just because the new administration wants to rescind that previous offer after they already settled here under the terms of that old offer.
Mr Biden did not have the authority to make that "invitation".
That's not the half of it, but it's a start. Thanks. Best always. PM

Someone must remind Mr. Bonner, Bass and Newsom; a country without laws and borders is not a country...
AI: Yes, but you need to follow the laws.
It's extremely obvious to nearly EVERYONE who is NOT following the Laws - and it's your team, sweetheart.
Now do what you do best and ignore the Reality...

The non-conservative vote in California is broken down into three categories: 1) The extremely wealthy elites; 2) The "on the dole" class that is highly dependent on government benefits; and 3) The union vote which encompasses massive numbers of teachers and education employees, along with public safety and government employees at every level. There are probably a significant number of illegal aliens voting as well given they mail out ballots like candy.
Like you, I loved California. I was born, raised and educated there. I built two businesses from nothing and they still operate today.

Mr. J, Excellent analysis.
Man, must really suck for you, then. Held hostage by leftist idiots. I don’t get why any conservative - unless they’re in prison - would stay. And please, don’t feed me that, “the weather is so great” rationalization.
I’m in the Free State of Florida. Native, not a transplant. Just hoping we don’t get Californicated.
Oh we left, but are close enough (4 hours by car, 40 minutes by plane) to get back to see family. We also get to see the now exponentially accelerating decline.
The only way to keep your free state free is to defeat Marxist/Leftist/Democrats everywhere, every time. They are only interested in power and control and have time and money in spades to pursue them.
Absolutely.
As I’ve said, I desire to be friends with 2025 Democrats just as much as I desired to be friends with 1985 Soviet communists, ie, zero.
Indeed, Democrats are to be defeated, not compromised with. All for “reaching across the aisle” as long all the “reaching” is away from the Left.
Sluggo/DJ: Sadly, you paint every democrat with the same paint brush. Yet you voted for an ill equipped candidate with a horrible history and think that he's great.

You meant to type “accurately” instead of “sadly”. A little more attention to detail next time, please.
And if you’re a Democrat, you are as much my enemy as was a Soviet communist. Your ideology is to be totally defeated.

Again, the weather is the sole rationalization I always hear.
Man. Sure is some expensive weather. No joke: with the taxes, high cost of living, I AM impressed that someone can afford to live in CA.
I do impress myself on occasion... my income is equivalent to George Jefferson; my lifestyle is reduced to par with Fred Flintstone.

So justice and responsible government demanded that this not just be stopped, but that it be reversed. Is the result “martial law”? What does it take to reverse a crime if this magnitude? What could the perpetrators of all of this madness, including the madness of illegal immigrants waving foreign flags while burning American property and attacking law enforcement while local government officials defend their actions, what could the perpetrators possibly have to say about the American people, about the sanctity of America as a nation?
So this crime, this crime against humanity American style, must be reversed. Justice and order cannot be otherwise restored.

Inarguable FACTS that will be completely ignored by the BPR "leadership" and the spineless leftardes on this board. Instead, they will denigrate the adults who are using every tool available to try and fix what the morons broke. These people are disgusting and should be completely irrelevant to what happens next...
Martin Armstrong recently did a review of various countries where revolutions took place and he was quite surprised how small a percentage of people it takes to get them going! That doesn’t mean that the unwilling or uninterested are unaffected!
Mr Bonner, I’ll agree, but for a different reason.
Trump is taking the wrong tactic. Just cordon off all around LA. Allow no one in or out. And then let the leftist anarchists BLM (burn, loot, murder) to their hearts' content.
CA voted for their state and cities to be run by leftwingnuts. Enjoy. Leftists destroying leftists. What's not to like? I'm just surprised it isn't on pay per view 🍿🍿
Hey there Sluggo, you’re so correct.
The kooks that elected these lefty fools are getting exactly what wanted. Let the party continue……
A-MEN!!
And I’m all for it in each and every leftwingnut town and state. Who knows, perhaps Baltimore is in the queue 😉
Wait a few more months and see what we get for electing (yes, me too) an impulsive attention-seeking child to lead us.
... "we" chose the impulsive attention-seeking child over the incompetent woefully unqualified cackler... the media's binary offerings were terrible...
Do you think that someday you’ll be able to evolve beyond the name calling and provide specific data?
Are the nicknames undeserved? And "specific data"? How about watching any video of the drunk, giggling toddler from the campaign and 77 million votes for the alternative.
This stuff isn't hard for anyone who can think critically, Ed. You should step up your game and start cheering for Team Domestic Enemy on more sophisticated subjects where there might actually be some valid overlap between the Left/Right positions. You keep beclowning yourself about really, really simple issues and it's not a good look.
Just trying to help...
SE: Since when are you trying to help?? Only if you are a Republican or a Trump person. You know if you look hard enough, one can always find some information on anyone that may be negative or positive. Please follow Trump's decisions carefully.
...not sure I understand your questionable comment.
I was towing the line behind your "name calling"...
I assumed your stating "impulsive questionable child" was derogatory labeling.
I have devolved beyond specificity in terms of describing the attributes of Kammy, as I have yet to recognize any... she leaves me otherwise speechless.
WD : Bill what they did wrong was come here without permission! As you remind us the USA is broke, no money to help our own citizens! The illegal Imigrants are getting better treatment $ then our own!
The insanity from this boobis americanus is finally complete. My God!
The election should have been 80-20. It was only 52-48. We can't even agree it's bad when 20,000,000 individuals are allowed to invade our country, and then we can't do anything about it. As my Mom often says, "It's all over but the shouting." The shouting started for real in LA this time. Best always. PM
Paul, I don’t believe for a minute that the election was that close.
“What did the immigrants do wrong? Nobody knows..”
Hogwash. We ALL know; even the Trump-haters know.
Again, they are NOT “immigrants”, Bonner; illegal aliens. Criminal border trespassers. First action they did was break the law when they UNLAWFULLY entered the United States.
THAT’S what they did wrong. But we all know you know this. So either you’re just having fun yanking us all here; or, you really are blinded by hate for Trump.
Further, you tarnish the word “immigrant”, and insult ALL those who came here legally, by referring to border trespassing criminals as “immigrants.” Shame on you, and all who do this.
I love this line from Bill’s article. It captures everything going on currently.
“Now the shoe is on the other foot. But it’s still walking in the same direction.”
Sort of funny as well!
Bill, what has happened to you?
He’s gone nuts. President Trump has complete control of his mind and driven him insane.It’s an amazing thing to witness in real time! Does he not have a family member to intervene? Sounds very familiar
Trump has accomplished this in literally Hundreds-of-Thousands of Libtardes. It's Beautiful to behold...
Exposing the rampant mental illness of the leftists in this country has been shocking, to be honest.
He’s clearly went off the deep end. Been writing BS for days now, I’m getting really sick of it. He’s turned marxist communist..
HB: Everyone has their point of view. Don't like it..don't read it!
